I used to love fashion magazines.  I remember in high school, I couldn’t wait for the fall issues of Seventeen Magazine and Glamour.  OMG!  It was heaven, flipping through the pages to see what the new fall fashion trends were.

Today, it’s not as exciting.  Back then, fashion magazines showcased styles that I wanted to buy and made me want to head to the mall.  Today, designers showcase their latest clothing line in a way that you have to decipher not only what the new styles are but also if its even a trend you would be remotely interested in.

Enter the World of Fashion Blogs

Today, my go to inspiration for current styles and trends is Fashion Blogs   If you find blogs that fit your age and style, you will be kept up to date on what’s in, what’s out and what you should be wearing each season.  What I love about fashion blogs is that the clothes are outfits that the bloggers are actually wearing.

The key is finding blogs that speak to you.  Blogs that inspire you and will help you to style your wardrobe.  The fashion blogger does all the work for you.  They research the trends and bring you the best of what’s out there.

A great way to find fashion blogs is at Bloglovin.  You can discover new blogs and follow your favorite ones in a daily feed.  You simply create an account and start searching for blogs that you would like to follow.  At Bloglovin, you are not limited to fashion blogs.  Their list of blogs covers an extensive list of different interests including travel, photography, home decor, beauty, food and entertaining.

Here are a few fashion blogs for different age groups.

Fashion Blogs for 20’s, 30’s and 40’s

Following are three fashion blogs that are a good start if you are in your 20’s to mid 40’s.  Spend some time looking through past posts to get a feel for their style and flair.

For this age group, your fashion style depends on where you are in your life. Whether you are new to your career or a stay at home mom, you can find your fashion niche.

Now for my age group!  This post may be of interest to you for your personal wardrobe or to pass on to your mom or friend.

Although it’s not a fashion blog, one of my favorite avenues for fashion inspiration are the Ambush Makeovers on the Today Show.  They usually select gals over 40 and they make them over during the show.  OMG!  Most of the time you can’t believe its the same person!  When the women are interviewed, they often say life just got busy and they were always consumed with taking care of their family and their careers.

I love it when I see the excitement in their eyes when they first look in the mirror.  They didn’t know they could look so good!  See my previous post on Ambush Makeovers and the amazing before and after pictures.

Fashion blogs for women over forty can help you achieve a makeover on your own if needed, and they can also help you maintain a stylish wardrobe by sharing current trends and styles.  Here are two worth checking out.

I love the site Fabulous After 40 and it’s tag line, Fashion Advice to Help You Tweak Your Chic.  Style expert Deborah Boland shares fashion tips for women over 40 and teaches them to “dump the frump”.

This past week Deborah had a great post,  Classic, Casual Dressing – The Recipe For Style At a Certain Age featuring Beth Djalali.   Beth makes walking the dog in jeans look good!  I love her style and enjoyed looking at all the pictures.

Beth is the Blogger behind the fashion blog Style at a Certain Age and again, worth your time or passing it on to someone in this age group because her style is worth sharing.

One of my favorite outfits is how she turned casual khakis into casual chic.  It’s perfectly accessorized and so chic.

Fashion blogs are a great tool for inspiration.  Your wardrobe should have the basics.  These bloggers can help you to pull your outfits together with accessories and trends that make you feel fresh and current.

Whatever your age, you need to develop your own style according to your size and shape.
